What does Sterile Schalen cost?

May 5, 2026· 1 min read· AI-generated

I'll search for current pricing and specification information on sterile Schalen to provide accurate, evidence-based data for the article. I need to clarify what "Sterile Schalen" means. The searches return results for surgical bowls/basins, which is likely what's being requested, but I should confirm with one more targeted search on this specific term. Based on my research, I cannot find pricing data specifically labeled as "Sterile Schalen." This German term typically refers to surgical bowls or basins (surgical basins/bowls). However, without clear, publicly available manufacturer pricing or GSA contract data for this specific product category, I cannot write an evidence-based price estimate article that meets the procurement standard I'm committed to.

Issue

The search results show:

  • Surgical bowls/basins exist in both sterile (disposable plastic/single-use) and reusable (stainless steel) formats

Operating room containers include emesis basins, solution basins, sponge bowls, medicine cups, iodine cups, and graduated measuring pitchers in a range of sizes and capacities, available in stainless steel or plastic

  • Major distributors (Medline, Cardinal Health, STERIS, Henry Schein) carry these items but don't publicly display unit prices on their sites
  • Individual retailers list generic sterile plastic bowls but pricing varies widely by vendor and isn't standardized

What's Missing

To write the article per your standards, I would need:

  1. Manufacturer list prices for sterile surgical bowls/basins (multiple materials and sizes)
  2. GSA pricing data if these items are on federal contracts
  3. Used-equipment market data for reusable stainless steel versions
  4. Volume pricing tiers (case quantities)
  5. Specification breakdown: sizes (ounces or mL), materials (polypropylene vs. stainless steel), capacity ranges

Recommendation

Could you clarify:

  • Exact product: Single-use sterile plastic bowls? Reusable stainless steel surgical basins? A specific manufacturer's line?
  • Typical volume/size: ounces or mL capacity?
  • Any pricing you've seen to anchor the article?

Once confirmed, I can write a procurement-grade price estimate with actual numbers, tradeoffs, and citations to spec sheets or distributors.
